Personally, I would be less likely to surrender to the choice it makes if I knew what was going to play.

I dunno, I feel it should take you to the details page first as well. I do kinda agree with you though, lol.

For WP7 it will be implemented this way in next update, for Android I have a small update for next week, and then iOS I will do some more tweaks in the next few weeks.

Would it be possible to still have the Russian Roulette like I prefer via a long press or something? I know I'm just going to reject whatever the app chooses; my brain gets in the way sometimes.

No biggie if not; no hurry if so.

Oh man, I didn't mean to start anything :oops: . I'd be surprised if you got more than a few votes, I think only a few will latch on to this feature. Staknhalo requested it so I think it should be his preference.

In that case, I want the random feature to always play/pick one movie only. Thankskilling. Whether you own it or not. No need to thank me, I'm just doing God's work.

Well i mean the feature if for the thousands using the app :). You didn't start anything, it is a user feature request so everyone wants it different, but for me it is easy to change, but I don't mind however you guys want it basically :) I just want them 5 star reviews :)

My friend and I discovered it one night on Netflix. We made everyone we know watch it. Everybody loves it.
